PROVINCIAL DIPLOMAS

A standard provincial graduation diploma must be issued by all public Senior Years schools and funded independent Senior Years schools to those students who will be graduating in June 1997 and thereafter. Those students who have completed 28 credits and satisfied all program requirements of Answering the Challenge or Renewing Education: New Directions are to be awarded a provincial diploma as outlined in Renewing Education: New Directions, A Foundation for Excellence (July 1995).

The requirement to issue the provincial diploma does not preclude schools from also issuing their own diploma. A division and/or school-based diploma can optionally be issued to students who have obtained 28 credits or have met additional local requirements beyond the 28 credits.

Provincial diplomas are printed for the four recognized program areas and a Mature Student diploma is also available. The provincial diplomas are available free of charge to schools through the Manitoba Text Book Bureau.
